"Playing on home turf at Chase Stadium, Miami took the lead early on when Tadeo Allende's cross was turned into his own net by Whitecaps defender Edier Ocampo. Ali Ahmed grabbed the equaliser on the hour mark but Messi then played in Rodrigo De Paul for Miami's second with 19 minutes to go. Vancouver were the better side for long periods but were caught out again deep into stoppage time when Messi picked out Tadeo Allende and he secured the win."
"Emmanuel Sabbi saw a penalty appeal turned down at the other end after going down theatrically under a challenge from Baltasar Rodríguez. Vancouver ought to have levelled after 34 minutes but Brian White could only head Sebastian Berhalter's free-kick straight at home goalkeeper Rocco Ríos Novo. Rios Novo produced a more difficult stop four minutes later, spreading himself superbly to block Sabbi's shot after good work in the box by Thomas Muller."
Inter Miami secured their first MLS Cup with a 3-1 win over the Vancouver Whitecaps at Chase Stadium. An early own goal by Edier Ocampo resulted from a Tadeo Allende cross following incisive play by Lionel Messi and Rodrigo De Paul. Ali Ahmed levelled for Vancouver around the hour mark after a Sabbi run and pass. Messi then assisted De Paul for the go-ahead goal with 19 minutes remaining, and Messi later set up Allende for a stoppage-time clincher. Vancouver dominated long periods, created chances and had a penalty appeal turned down, while Rocco Ríos Novo produced important saves and Ocampo was booked.
